Almanac: 23-24 Frame: 1
A series of animals are shown "biting" solar eclipse glyphs; these dangle from a skyband in the upper register and from a band of zigzag dotted lines in the lower register. The animals pictured are (from right to left, beginning in the upper register): an unidentified bird, a rattlesnake, a turtle, a scorpion, an owl, a type of water creature, perhaps a shark, a second unidentified type of bird, a frog, a bat, an eroded animal that may be a peccary (based on external sources of information), another eroded animal that may be a deer (based on the hoof and external sources of information), the deity Kimil, and a jaguar.
